    Cover by Henry Sharp. Stories and art by Matt Baker, Ray Osrin, Ralph Lane and Michael OMalley. Pre-Code crime comics from St. John with an above-average lineup of artists. Rookie cop Bill goes up against his own uncle, a powerful crime boss, in a story with art by good-girl art legend Matt Baker. In another Baker story, detectives Pete and Hugh go after the Bulletproof Bandits, who elude pursuit, resist witness description, and are seemingly immune to bullets. A judge hires private eye Vic Flint to investigate the gangland-style murder of gambler Jimmy Jerce. Cover by Baker is a reversal of the standard woman-in-jeopardy image of many crime-comics covers. Crooked Paths to Prison; Rookie Cop Traps the Kingpin of Crime; Vic Flint: The Jerce Murder; Police Valor Defies the Bulletproof Bandits. 36 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
